    I can't remember a time the Pentagon exit with that sharp left hand turn wasn't under construction.

    Committed a cardinal sin of mall crawling and overlanding:

    "1) Thou shall NOT remove 'sponsor' stickers; We spend thousands of dollars (not sponsors) on our rigs and the least we can do is show off what we spend it on. Stickers tell our story when we are at Whole foods picking up dairy free, gluten free non-GMO ice cream after cooking our dinner from our fridge freezers on out Tembo tusk skillets at the local Yogi Bear campground after paying extra to let us pop open our RTT at the sign out front for our Instagram." #WorthIt



    Looks so much cleaner and I didn't even notice a loss in horsepower.

    That 110* left turn was the wake up signal for the entire metro bus of professional snoozers I frequented. We'd all be fast asleep, and the minute you took that turn, you'd see everyone's head pop up and start getting their game face on.

    If you do, I’m going to intentionally give you bad welding tips.

    I'm not sure any tips can help me. Bad welding is what I'm good at :D

    I fully expect to burn a hole in a major.body organ when I attempt upside down welding in the morning :rofl::rofl:

    Burned my arm earlier not paying attention and got a ankle burn from a stray slag bomb.

    I was welding in shorts and boat shoes yesterday. Got a nice burn on my left foot.

    In all seriousness should I weld upside down or hook my trailer to the tractor bucket and weld at 90 degrees ? Is it worth it ? I never tried welding upside down. Any tricks to it ? I would have to weld outside. How much will the wind effect the argon/Co2?

    Avoid welding overhead if you can. Gravity is a bitch against the weld puddle.

    Wind can cause porosity. Just crank up the CFH, or use some flux wire.

    I got an AMAZON apron the other day for truck work. Came in clutch when my buddy was helping me. Sometimes you can’t avoid holding the grinder in such a way that an entire storm of sparks shoots basically towards your manhood. The apron provided him with protection at that moment. & then I used it too, it’s ok to reuse protection like that, right?
